Languages students hired as undergraduate research assistants through research grant awarded to Professor John Schwieter

Professor John W. Schwieter has been awarded a book preparation grant through the Office of Research Services’ SSHRC Institutional Grant program. The $2,000 grant will fund two Bachelor of Arts in Languages students as research assistants to work on the project, “The Handbook of Translation and Cognition” (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017).

The handbook is co-edited by Schwieter and Aline Ferreira and will appear in the Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics Series. It features 30 contributions from international experts based at and/or affiliated with institutions and research centres in 17 countries including: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Japan, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States.

The two fourth-year research assistants are:

Andrea Hadland, who holds a President’s Gold Scholarship at Laurier. Hadland has taught tutorials for LL223 and plans on continuing on to teacher’s college after completing her bachelor's degree.

Samantha Graham, who is considering continuing her education at the graduate level in linguistics and language studies.
